"India must be the only country in the world, where people fight to be called backward"
- Narayan Murthy.
Excuse me Sir, but are you Clint Eastwood? You may have made billions, put India on the front burner of the globalized economy etc. etc. but how can you be so naive about the political environment under your very nose? That statement is gonna cost you.
A year after the social justice ministry gave a list of 100 SC/ST engineers from top institutes to industry chambers, Infosys has finally come up with a concrete plan to train them and "provide them with sufficient skills to enable them to compete on their own merit".
The software giant will call all 100 engineers to Bangalore for interviews on July 10. They will be given counselling before they face a written test. The selected candidates will be intimated about the training programme.
How many Employees does Infy have today?
About 50,000?
Please do some quick Math. How much is 22.5% of that?
11,250.
Correct!
How much is 27% of 50,000?
13,500.
Correct again!
You want to give away just 100 seats? What is this, some sort of charity? Don't you remember your ancestors robbed all these people for 3000 years? Now, don't you act coy or you are gonna get it real bad. How dare you talk about merit? What is merit anyway? You think you are a hotshot? It does not work that way in India.
Here is what else you have to do. Each time Infy wants to recruit, you will have to send a notice to the labor department. The labor department will check out the scenario. No funny stuff, Ok? Until you have rounded up 22.5 Dalits and 27 OBCs for every 100 positions, the new recruits will NOT start work. Is that clear? Good. Remember that Aunty Meira will be watching you, so will Dr. Ramadoss and PC.
Why are you whining? Azim Premji? Yeah, he also issued a bravura statement. So what? What is Mr. Premji's religion again? Yeah, you are slowly getting it. And, what is yours? Yep. Just what we thought. What is your caste again? You don't believe in caste? How does it matter whether you believe in caste or not, because we do. The constitution does too, don't you know?

Barbar,
Please recheck 27% of 11,250.
It should be 3037.5
You've might have typo
[feel free to delete this comment later]
Meant to say 27% of 50K. Yes, it is ambiguous, I will fix it, thanks.
"How does it matter whether you believe in caste or not, because we do. The constitution does too, don't you know?"
Sad, but true!
`Where do u get that stuff from?''Step aside from your blogworld for a while and get to know of the real world. Just go to any zilla parishad office and try to know who is funding the scheme --- literacy drives, rainwater harvesting,etc etc. Dont' take the politicians so seriously when they tell we we are through with foreign help regime.
India's GDP is about $800 billion. The total unilateral/multilateral aid received as per the economist was about $900 millions. It is a rather tall claim that but for aid millions of Indians would die. Also, part of this aid is in the form of soft loans from the IMF etc., to be paid back later.
The literacy drives, rainwater harvesting etc. etc. are mere political gimmicks, just like the useless tokenism of reservations. The point is, the Indian population at large is miraculously surviving against all odds and despite all efforts by a monstrous government to kill them.
